.Coun. R. W. Tuckey, Exeter, chdir-
man of the Committee, stateel thet
there had ben no organization that
had committed anything to the corn-
rnitte,e as ;to why the council should
acquire this airfield or how. it should
be teurchased. It was just a feeling
at large that prompted it. If used
for ,aecourity fair, attendance would
be drawn from a more limited area
than that enjoyed by the internation-
al plowing match.
"We feel that, instead of it being
a paying preposition, it would be a
white elephant on the county," MT.
Tuckey declined.
Coun. George C. Gine, Goderich

PROVINCIAL FOREST
SITE IS SUGGESTED
IN ,SOUTH HURON
Two sites for provancial forests—
one. in the Port Franks -Grand Bend
dee between the Blue Water high-
way and the Lake Huron shore, the
other in the •south part of. Huron
County, in Hay and Stephen Town-
ships— were recommended by zone
foresters addressing the Onterio
Royal 'Commission on Forestry at
London Tuesday.
Harold Zavitz, whose territoey cov-
ers fleece, Kant Lanibton, Middlesex
and Elgin On,unties, said there was
"nothing new in the suggestion that
a provincial forest be established on
the Pinery site along the Huron shore.
As early as 1908, in fed, a refores-
tation scheme had been mentioned for
that area.
The ecommendation that sections
of Hay and .Stephen Township be set
aside for a provineial reforestation
projects came from William Thterston,
zone forester for Hunan, Perth and
Oeford. He concurred with Mr. Zavitz
in the opinion that few farmers have
any idea of their woodlots. .

culosis Association', announced the

one did his part.
i
It is the ntention of the HOTRA.
to sponsor, in co-operation with the
Department of Health, a mass X-ray

purchase of seals at this time. In
addibion to the survey, which is the

large groups ef people, it is intended

SISTER VISITS
GRAVE IN FRANCE
OF LT. J. O. 'COMBE
Shortly after she arrived home
from overseas this summer, The
NEWS -RECORD interviewed Miss
Agnes Combe concerning conditiOns
in England. In conversation with Miss
Oombe, she has given another very
interesting piece of information.
Before returning to Canada, Miss
Combe was able to go to Feance and
visit the grave ot he brother, Lieut.
J. Owen ("Bub") C'ornbe, who was
buried at Caen.
The difficulties encountered on
that trip made Miss Combe realize
why traveleIrs have been discouraged
from going to the Continent. The
areas she visited had been so ravaged
by war that they were not ready for
visitors, she stated. There was no
travel agency at Caen so Miss Combe
wrote to the Mayor. He spoke Eng-
lish and wrote very graciously regret-
ting that he woeld not be there when
the trip was made. • Finally, after
considerable difficulty, Miss Combe
after flying from England to France, '
reached the cemetery where her
brother was buried. This cemetery
lies between Caen and Falaise.
Miss Combe then found out that
there are three .Canadian cemeteries
in that area and that there are about
3,000 graves in the cemetery where
her brother had been buried. A group
of twelve Frenchmen Were most
helpeel in trying to looate the grave.
Al the time she was there, there
was no grass or tree or any other
adornment, but it is now being put
into shape in this area, Lieut. Canna
served with Essex Scottish First
Battalion. ;Miss Combe stated that
she was very glad that she had been
able to find her brother's grave alter
much searching.
Miss .Combe returned by way of
bus to Caen which, she stated, had
been very badly damaged during the
war. The streets were still rubble -
strewn when she was there. Just
as she was leaving, the kindly. Mayor
retmmed and sought her out, and on
account of the time set for her de-
parture being very near they had
only a few minutes for conversation.
Wreckers are now at week -on the
Perrin Block on Rateenbuey St East,
opposite the Public Library. The
building once housed the Jackson
Manufacturing Company. The tim
bees appear to be in very sound
condition.
Polish War 'Veterans Arrive Here

proximately 1,700 Polish war veterans, members
